PETER BETTERs, the negro who muir

ored, aged rs, recently, at jamestown O.,

hanged in the fair ground to one of the
trees. 1t is generally known that the work
was quietly done by the infuriated citizens
of jamestown in the dead of night, strict
secrecy being sworn on the spot by the
avengers. Better's assault upon his aged
victim was cowardly. He gained entrancs
to her cabin by digging o trench
from the outside and coming up from the
hole into the room in which the old lady
was sleeping. A most desperate struggle
ensued, in which the woman was terribly
mangled.

Abdul Hamid never lots anybody know IN

go for the Selamlik. Visitors who have
been invited to view the sight from the
corps de garde opposite the new
mosque, which stands close to the
palace gates. watch regiment after
regiment march up the hill to
Yildiz without any certainty that the cere-
mony will be held at this partiular mosque
after ALL II often happens that Of sud-
den cavalry and infantry, visitors in cabs
and carriages, and sightseers on foot have
to make a stampede down hill and race o6
to some other mosque mile away. Yet, il
there 10 any danger for the SGltan's life and
liberty, it can only be in bis own palace,
and not in the streets. Wherever he goes
He could ride through any part Of the city
without risk of harm, and il by mischance

avenged by any Mussulman stand

and justice is kept up among the people
by the privilege which the humblest
folk enjoy of presenting petitions to his
Majesty. While the troops are being mar

who are being ranged by court official In
a conspicuous position on the road which
the Sultan has TO pass. Flourishes Of
trumpets announce his Majestys coming;

the hand. Again he is seen for half .
minute AZ he descends from his carriage
and mounts the steps of the mosque,
where he turns round and salutes the
whole crowd by lifting his two fingers to
his fez. Meanwhile an aid-de- camp has
run forward TO collect all the petitions,
which arc placed in one of the i'm
perial carriages, and it seems that
these petitions are always read, and that
many Of them are granted 10 the full in .
high handed, lordly, capricious way, which
makes the dispensation Of imperial grace
something like the drawing OF q prize in .
lottery. However, every case of lavish
bounty or of wrong redressed land there
are some such cases every weekl strikes
deep on popular imagination and serves in
. clumsy fashion TO keep official extortion-
ers and bullies in order. One hears Of
pashas dismissed through the petition OF
old women who have tramped to Yildix
from the most distant villages Of Arabia.
These things are not fiction; and, in all
that relates to the sudden setting up or tho
sudden setting down Of placemen, the rule
of Abdul Hamid differs little from that Of
Haroun- al Raschid.

New Hampshire completes the list of SEN
ators and senator's elect of the Fiftieth
congress. The roll will stand, Republic
cans 49,, including Mr.. Riddleberger, Of
Virginia, and Democrats 81. California,
Ohio and Virginia are the only States
whose senators are divided. This is the

egations were from California, Indiana,

the last house are also senator's elect,
namely, Mr.. Hiscock, from New York;
Mr.. Daniels, from Virginia, and Mr.. Rea.
gan, from Texas.
DURING the recent session of the Mis-
souri, Legislature remarkable communi-
cation, addressed to the house, was read
in that body. 1t was signed by B. T.
Plummer, chief of the "Bald Knobbers,"

nounced that unless the extra session Of

A WASHINGTON dispatch denies that
President Cleveland intends to make the
circuit Of the western fairs next fall. He
will attend the Grand Army celebration at
st. Louis, and will probably make brief
stops at Cincinnati, Louisville, Chicago,
and Omaha, going and coming. Il is also
stated that he contemplates q fortnighfs

In the commons the amendment for the
repeal Of the local option law now in force

jected. Sir John Macdonald and another

some further debate the following was
added to the main prohibitory motion:
Compensation being . matter Of detail,
that such be considered when the measure

ion ON main motion in favor Of prohibition
was then taken and the motion was mega
tived by AZ majority.
A WARRINGTON correspondent says:
''The Albany interview was barren Of re-
suits. There was nothing talked about but
tho new house, the new furniture and the
pictures, and Hill and Cleveland hold
about the same relations to tho next presi-
dency that they did before the meeting"
What are Hills relations to the next presi-
dency? Who knew before that he held
any?

RAILWAY ITEMS.

WORK on the new division OF the llll-
nois Centr al is being rapidly pushed for
ward. The survey north has been COM!
pleted to Sioux Falls. Two lines have
been surveyed from Cherokee to Correc-
tionville, one on the east side of the Little
Sioux, the other on the west side. Tho
line ON the east side branches from the
main line little this side OF the Pingrey
farm, shortly crossing the river, it runs on
the west side until it reaches Pilot Rock,
where it again crosses. The Topographic
cal engineer regards the route on the east
side as being much better than the west
side. Superintendent Gilleas, General
Agent Tucker and N. T. Burroughs were
at Sioux Falls recently, where they had
been securing right Of way and making
other arrangements for tho new road.
AT meeting of the stockholders Of the
Illinois Central road the other day it was
decided to increase the capital stock by
$1O,OO0,000 to provide means to pay for
$4,000 shares of Iowa Falls and Sioux City
stock at $50 per.shares; SO, 900 share of Du.
buque and Sioux City at $50 per share;
the remainder to apply to the completion
of the Chicago, Madison and Northern
road from Chicago to Freeport and Madi.

line to Chicago is completed. The Gen.
trails lease of right Of way over the Chi
cago and Iowa from Forreston to Aurora,
aud the C. B. & @. from Aurora to Chi
cago will expire July l. The distance to
Chicago via the Minnesota and Northwest
ern is twenty five miles shorter than by the
present route.

department Of the Central Traffic associa-
ton was held in Chicago recently to con-
slder proposition to grant special rate
of one fare for the round trip for the
meeting Of the National Education asso-
citation in Chicago in July, and special
rate of two cents per mile for parties OF
forty or more when travelling in one direc.
ton. Several new and important rules re-
garding mileage were also considered. An
effort was made to allow. all general pas
senger and ticket agents connected with
the association to grant in their discretion
rate OF two cents per mile to ministers
when travelling either on public or private
missions.
